Chapter 344 Paint Egg
After washing her hands, Axiu had curiosity on her face and patted the sack, "Sister, what did you pick?"
The family members were also quite curious and looked at the two people lying on the ground, waiting for their answer.
"I picked some grass fruits and star anise. Go and find some dustpans for my sister. I want big ones!"
"I know!" Axiu nodded, turned around and went into the house to get a dustpan.
The star anise and grass fruits that have just been picked must be dried as soon as possible, otherwise the temperature will be too high when picking during the day, and if they are covered in sacks overnight, they will not be available tomorrow.
She stood up and untied the sack. Su's father brought her a stool and said, "Just rest. I'll do it anyway."
"Just pour it out and let it dry. When the sun comes out tomorrow, just take it out to dry."
She had two leftover wild kiwis just now, and gave them all to Axiu, "Here, I'll give you something good. I'm so busy today that I didn't even have time to pick it. I'll pick some for you tomorrow when I'm free."
"So hairy." Axiu rubbed his hands.
"Break it open and eat it, just don't eat the skin. This thing is really sweet."
Su Ziling broke one off and handed it to her.
Su A'nai also came over to help dry star anise and grass fruits, "You and Sanlang can eat these two fruits in the mountains, why bring them back to her? She has food to eat at home, and you two are not hungry." Got strength."
Su Ziling smiled and said, "We have eaten and we are not very hungry. We will pick more tomorrow and let you have a taste of it, grandma."
Su A'nai shook her head, with helplessness on her face, "How do you do this?"
"Just dry the star anise directly, and pick the grass and fruits. During the day, we cut them directly one by one."
Su Ziling took a bunch and started picking the fruits one by one.
"It's okay. Let's pour it out to eat first. I'll pick it slowly at home tomorrow. It's not much anyway." Su A'nai saw that there were not enough dustpans, so she went to get a few more.
This dustpan was originally made by Mr. Su when their family was drying tea leaves, otherwise it would not be enough.
Mother Su's food was out of the pot. She wiped her hands as she walked, "Xiaoqing and Sanlang are back? Let's eat then. My food just came out of the pot."
After pouring out the strawberries and star anise, several people washed their hands and entered the kitchen.
The food had been put on the table. Mother Su was serving the food. When she saw Su Ziling, she couldn't help but chattered, "Come back earlier next time. It's getting dark quickly now. As for things, you'll get what you find. If you can't find it, go tomorrow." That’s it, I won’t come back even after looking at you, and I won’t come back even after looking at you. Your grandma is so anxious that she even urged your father to find you.”
"I traveled a lot today. I won't do it next time. But there are so many grasses and fruits. Let's find a time some other time and let's go pick them together as a family. After we pick them and dry them, we can sell them to the drug store."
Su Ziling took a sip of rice soup, and then she felt like she was alive.
"Does the drug store still accept herbs?"
Mother Su gave her an egg and said, "Eat more. My skills are not as good as yours. Seeing that the whole family will be hungry if you don't come back, I will light a fire."
Su's mother wasn't very good at cooking, so she didn't cook any particularly difficult dishes. She cooked a pot of oiled eggs. She heard Su Ziling say something that day, so she figured out how to cook them herself. Anyway, the eggs were ready-made at home, so she wanted to eat them. Just take it out and cook it.
Unable to cook other major dishes, she cooked a large pot of pork vermicelli in lacquered oil. This was easy because the seasoning packets were prepared by Su Ziling, and all she had to do was boil the water in the pot.
Because of the lacquer seed oil, Su Mu fried some meat in the lacquer seed oil, and then poured water to cook the vermicelli, so the cooked vermicelli tasted better than usual.
She also heated up a bowl of fungus sauce and mixed it with a bowl of preserved eggs. Now there were more peppers, so she imitated Su Ziling and cooked a bowl of peppers.
She also mixed a bowl of Zheergen. When eating Zheergen, she muttered, "This Zheergen is Xiaolu's favorite. I don't know where he is."
Su Ziling pretended not to hear and answered the question she just asked, "Okay, these grass fruits and star anise are both medicinal materials. It turns out that the ones I use to braise pork and braised sausages are bought at the drug store. They are not cheap, but the star anise There are a bit few, and it’s not easy to pick, but there are a lot of grasses and fruits. I estimate that I can pick several hundred kilograms of them from a mountain pass. A conservative estimate would cost two to three taels of silver.”
"so much?"
Hearing that this grass fruit could be sold for two or three taels of silver, everyone was excited. "Then what are you waiting for? I think it will be done tomorrow. The worst thing is that I won't pull the sweet potato vine tomorrow. I can pull this sweet potato vine all day long. It will be done tomorrow." It doesn't make much difference, we can go pick the grass fruits first." Mr. Su said.
"It's okay. If we all go together, I guess we'll be back in the morning."
Su Ziling took a small spoonful of fungus paste, added a piece of preserved egg and roasted pepper, and stirred them all together. After one bite of this sticky bowl of bibimbap, the aroma was overwhelming!
Li Zelan glanced at her and followed her example.
"But my grandma, please don't go there. There is a lot of dew in the mountains and the slopes are slippery. If you are not in good health, you should stay at home with me. There are so many of us, we can carry it back in one trip."
Su's father glanced at Su's mother and nodded, "Xiao Qing is right. Once you've finished cooking at home, we can just go. We'll pick grass fruits and come back just in time for dinner. After eating, we can go to the fields to pull sweet potato vines. Don’t delay either way.”
"Okay, then I'll cook at home tomorrow morning." Mother Su nodded in agreement.
After eating, everyone rested in the kitchen for a while, and then started to wash up when they felt like they were done.
Su Ziling scratched her back, "Mom, is there any water in the pot? I want to take a bath."
"Yes, most of the pot has been burned. Just wait a moment and I'll add more firewood, otherwise there won't be enough water." She put down the bowl and chopsticks and came to add more firewood, and then added two more ladles of water to the pot.
The old Su family used to clean the pot after cooking, and then add half a pot of water to boil it. Anyway, there is a fire in the stove hole. If you add some water to wash your hair and take a bath, you don't have to boil it again.
Of course, Su Ziling was the one who washed the most diligently. If she went to the mountains to sweat, she would do one bath a day. If she didn't go to the mountains and stay at home, she would wash her bath once every two days. It was unstoppable. Su's mother was also very strange at first. This girl had never washed herself before. So diligent.
Later, as time went by, she got used to it and poured water into the pot habitually, just because she was afraid that she would use it.
For the convenience of bathing, Su's father even built a small cabin in the backyard and got her a wooden stake to put the oil lamp on. Mr. Su built a big bathtub for her.
Seeing that it was getting dark, she went to find an oil lamp. Su Zizhong carried a bucket of cold water in for her. When the water in the pot was hot, he got another bucket and helped her carry it in.
All Su Ziling had to do was find some clothes and grab the oil lamp. After Su's mother packed up the kitchen and came out, she didn't forget to remind her, "Just take a shower. Don't wash your hair. Your hair won't dry out. If you catch a cold at night, you'll have a headache. Let’s wash it again tomorrow during the day when the sun is very hot.”
"I understand, Auntie."
Su Ziling didn't plan to wash her hair. She had been running around and falling so much during the day and walked through so many woods. She was covered in sweat. If she didn't wash her hair, she probably wouldn't be able to sleep.
